This week's trends were dominated by bizarre beauty looks, including lip art, as well as some offbeat photography projects.
The lip art that drew such a buzz this week stood out because it made the mouth look like an eye. Mind-boggling and making for an incredibly photo subject, this article drew a ton of views.
On the art front, leading photographers chose interesting subjects like burning matches and dramatic landscapes. The burning match photo series, for example, is playful and abstract, resembling living beings.
In terms of fashion, 60s style editorials and clothing reigned supreme. For more leading trends in all sorts of industries, check out Trend Hunter's Trend Reports.
